Using libcurl on windows, in my c++ project, with visual studio, does not work because string get corrupted

As explained in the title, I am trying to use the libcurl C API to submit simple http query.

I am using windows as an OS, C++ as a language, Visual Studio 2008 as an IDE.

My code is quiet simple:

I initialize curl: CURLcode init = curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);

I initialize my handle: CURL* handle = curl_easy_init();

I set the url: CRULcode set_url = curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com")

I submit my request: CURLcode submit = curl_easy_perform(handle);

As a result, the init and set_url return codes are 0 (CURLE_OK), the subimt return code is 2 (CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT).

When I debug I realize that my URL got corrupted, and instead of being http://www.example.com it becomes: xj: in release mode and 0|: in debug mode. It happens as soon as I enter curl_easy_setopt

The URL string gets definitely corrupted.

There must be one of my settings that is wrong, so here is a summary of my settings (in debug mode)

"Linking againgst libcurld.lib (version 7.21.3) compile using the vc6curl.dsw project"

This is the problem.

Static libraries must be built with the same compiler and the same runtime libraries (/MDd).

You can avoid this with DLL version of libcurl.
